GI - surely the 1st player picked in a 17 today.

See that's why I roll my eyes when people go on about how Inglis is so great, can create something out of nothing, blah blah. He's no different to other dominant outside backs. Without momentum, quality ball, and some room to move he's (relatively) easy to contain.

No different to any other dominant back? That is a load of bull! He is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than hodges, and hodges has the privledge of being outside lockyer every game. Hes much better than tonga who is outside thurston every game. As long as someone can get the ball to him to let him be 1 on 1 (or even 2 on 1) with the defence, he is able to create something, he doesnt need a pass from his half to get him outside the defence like many backs. To say hes no better than other dominant backs is ludicrous.

As much as I love Hodges at rep level he really doesn't do much where as Inglis is amazing at rep level.
He's definitely by far the best back in the game and with every game he just amazes me with the sheer skill he has.

Still though I would prefer an awesome five-eighth like Thurston :P or Lockyer

GI is definately a massive asset, but Locky is still the first player picked for mine.

thankyou im not alone.

Even after locky retires i would want a halves player first. You cant build a team around a Centre.


With locky retired my first 5 picks would be


1. Thurston
2. Ben Hunt
3. Inglis
4. hodges
5. Yow Yeh

That is fair enough but you wouldnt be able to get GI and probably not even Hodges if you leave him 4th.

And thats fair enough to, But regardless the first players id want are my Halves. Then you work on players who you know can combine well with your halves which is why i imagine alot of people who pick Locky would look at players like Thaiday and Hodges because know they work well together.

^Yeh I guess with a draft system you can have some form of 'plan' but you have to act as the picks go...
